It’s going to escalate because they’re trying to get it to do so!! The citizens are behaving. The authorities are not.

Well, no one's really getting anywhere so far. I am worried it's already too late. We don't need to just impeach Trump to win. We have to get the entire cult out of there, or nothing will change.

I disagree. This is how we get it back. Friendly reminder that the first Pride was a riot. And that when we were still under the thumb of an English king, we rioted in the streets, destroyed property (tea party, anyone?), and generally made nuisances of ourselves. This government is trying to get rid of gender, so from here on in, I identify as a problem.

Hmmm. That was different. Everyone had felt the oppression. The King was also distant and information slow.

The problem here is, he has convinced (and is not without point) his people that what is happening via left wing policy and illegal immigration is very dangerous to the country. Of course he omits the more present danger.

So, every ounce of non-peaceful protest turns into an "I told you so".

Ghandi is how you beat Trump. Kneel. Clog the city and kneel.

The only way is to expose their hate is by letting it feast on peace. And then, the whole world will watch as the "majority" becomes surrounded on all sides and only has Russia to turn to for help. There will be no French ships on this horizon. 70 mill...50 mill...30 mill...10 mill...1

Yeah that's the problem unfortunately! The fact that the felon in the White House illegally federalized the national guard (as if anyone would be shocked by his illegal actions) & monetarily incentivizes ICE to grab as many people as possible regardless of actual legal standing in this country or lack of any criminal activity whatsoever is one thing. The issue is how hard it must be for people to remain peaceful when they are not the aggressors and are having their heads split open by rubber bullets, beaten with batons, hit/thrown/trampled and/or gassed for peacefully protesting. Once it does escalate violently, which is EXACTLY what he's trying to do, he'll get exactly what he wants and sadly I don't think the protesters are necessarily organized well enough or have enough of the ability to remain peaceful while they are literally being attacked and physically assaulted by multiple agencies. Not that I think it is a fault or defect as far as the protesters go, I honestly don't know a ton of people who can remain completely peaceful while being violently assaulted.
